So, the written reports should be done from the perspective of "if everything breaks right, he will be X" instead of "based on his potentials now, he will be Y". Don't know how much work that would be though.
Agree. Especially with the TCR being default at 100. Unless someone turns TCR to 0 then the initial potential ratings are going to change for the better or worst throughout the player's minor league career so there should be some sort of optimistic when it comes to prospect's written reports.
